    Mandy Patinkin, who played Inigo Montoya, told the story of he and his wife attending the premier of the movie together. Towards the end of the movie Mandy started to cry and his wife asked what was wrong. He said that every actor has a dream of being in a movie that will be forever loved by future generations and, until he saw the movie for the first time, he hadn't realized that The Princess Bride was such a movie. He was overwhelmed that his dream had come true.

      I love Mandy. He’s such a charming, charismatic & and empathetic actor. He famously failed to show for (I think) the third season of Criminal Minds. It was apparently a struggle to track him down. When the show’s producers finally did track him down he basically told him that he just couldn’t do the show anymore. CM’s parade of gruesomely murdered women left him worn out & traumatized. I get where he’s coming from. I’ve always enjoyed the acting & on-screen chemistry between the series regulars, but I’ve found that it really starts to mess with me if I watch more than two or three episodes at a time before I start getting the heebie-jeebies. I’ve had a few nights when I’ve queued up Criminal Minds on Netflix & left it on auto play while I was doing other stuff. Couple times I fell asleep with it on auto play. Had some of the worst nightmares of my life. Anyway, Mandy did finally end up working with the showrunners to come up with a reasonably elegant way to write his character out of the show out of the show, but it was a tough experience for him.

    Fun fact: that final fight scene between Inigo and Count Rugen, Mandy Patinkin imagined he was fighting against cancer, as his real life father had passed away from cancer. So the emotion when he said “I want my father back, you son of a bitch” was real. When asked about the scene in an interview, Mandy stated that “in that moment, I beat cancer and my fairy tale came true, and he was alive.”

She says that when Andre saw her shivering, he rested his enormous hand on her head like a hat, spreading his fingers so she could still see. She says that not only did it both keep the rain off and warm her up surprisingly well, the gesture made her feel safe and protected.

      When the Covid lockdown happened, a bunch of actors re-did this movie as a fund raiser for World Central Kitchen. Each one (sometimes with their partners and/or kids) did a section in their own backyard and it got spliced together. The final scene was Rob Reiner playing the kid and his father Carl Playing the Grandfather. A day or two later, Carl Reiner passed away. The last thing Carl said on film was "as you wish" to his son. Search for "Princess Bride Home movie" it is a hoot. You know you have seen it all when you see Hugh Jackman as Humperdink wearing a dog bowl as a crown.

    The fight scene between Wesley and Inigo was the last scene filmed, the choreographer found that both men could do the fighting and were good at it so they just kept adding and Rob Reiner was all "Cool, keep working on it." It was for a couple of decades the single longest duel in film. All of the lines relate to actual books on fencing and dueling and are fairly accurate.

    Inigo kissed the Miracle Pill before he fed it to Wesley. That gave Inigo enough of the magic to save his life from the sword fight. The book The Princess Bride is a fantastic satire by William Goldman. He did the screenplay as well. The quirky nature of the story is because the book the grandfather is reading is a boring novel about Florin court politics which he is spicing up for the sick grandson. There are even more layers to the satire in the actual book. It's a hilarious look at translating stories from one person to another.

    William Goldman, who wrote the original novel and adapted it for the screen, was a two-time Oscar-winning screenwriter. His films Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, and All the President's Men (1976) starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman are both classics and very different movies. The novel came out in 1973 and was inspired by his daughters. They were very young, and he asked them what kind of bedtime story they wanted him to tell them. One said she wanted a story about a princess, and the other said she wanted a story about a bride.
    Rob Reiner, the director, started his career as an actor and moved into directing with This Is Spinal Tap (1984), which he co-wrote with Count Rugen actor Christopher Guest. Reiner has several classic films he's made...Stand By Me (1986), When Harry Met Sally (1989), Misery (1990), A Few Good Men (1992), and The American President (1995), all of which reactors have done for their channels.
    During lockdown, many actors and actresses participated in a fun project of creating TikTok style videos of favorite scenes and acting them out, costuming them, and just having a laugh for charity. The Princess Bride Home Movie was finally cut together in one long video with Fred Savage (the grandson) reprising his role, at the beginning, intercut withe Adam Sandler as the grandfather, and ending with director Rob Reiner playing the grandson, and Rob's father, the comedy legend and director Carl Reiner playing the grandfather. Shortly after posting that scene Carl Reiner passed. In between there were odd and/or inspired castings: Charlize Theron as Fezzik (I am the Dread Pirate Roberts), Hugh Jackman as Humperdinck, Elijah Wood as Humperdinck, Shaquille O'Neill as Fezzik, an intercut of Bryan Cranston as Count Rugen and Javier Bardem as Inigo Montoya, Paul Rudd as Westley (To the pain speech), Cary Elwes (the original Westley, playing Humperdinck during the same scene), the list goes on. Many actors and actresses taking on scenes, sometimes multiple parts, playing male and female roles. When you have the time to just watch for a laugh: ua-cam.com/video/29s1yU3nGkQ/v-deo.html
    One of the best behind the scenes books for any movie written was As You Wish by Cary Elwes, who played Westley. Lots of charm, behind the scenes stories, and love weaves through the book, especially in passages about Andre the Giant (Fezzik) that can be touching and gut-bustingly hysterical at the same time. Every time the cast has reunited, there is a lot of love between them, and they always get melancholy about how Andre is not with them, but there in spirit.
    This film is so special to me, that I sometimes laugh and cry at the same time...and when the grandfather says "As you wish." at the end, I just lose it. I am so happy you have fallen under the spell of this film that has so wonderfully bewitched us all. Some of us since it came out in 1987. A true classic holds up for generations...and this is a true classic.

The way he says "Please consider me as an alternative to suicide" is epic, with the insincerity dripping off every word.

In reality, he was a very gentle giant. He unfortunately died at the age of 46. He passed due to congestive heart failure. He was beloved by the wrestling community and fans. Inigo's words "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." were shown from the heart because the actor, Mandy Patinkin, lost his father to Canberra right before filming. So, every time he said it he was challenging cancer.

    Some Actor trivia:
    André René Roussimoff (Fezzik) was born in Grenoble, France in 1946 and suffered from acromegaly which is a hormonal disorder that results when the pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone. Which means that by the time he 12 he was 6' 3". He came to North America in 1971 and eventually got the attention of Pro-Wrestling promoter Vincent J. McMahon. This is where he got the name "Andre the Giant" and became highly popular showing up in moves and TV shows in the late `70s and early `80s. I was so happy seeing Andre in this since I'm a huge Pro-Wrestling fan. During the filming of some scenes, the weather became markedly cold for Robin Wright. André helped her by placing one of his hands over her head; his hands were so large that one would entirely cover the top of her head, keeping her warm.
    Mandy Patinkin has said that the role of Inigo Montoya is his personal favorite over the course of his entire career. He also said that the only injury he sustained during the entire filming of this movie was a bruised rib due to stifling his laughter in his scenes with Billy Crystal. His attempt at holding back his laughter is obvious from his facial expression during his line, "This is noble, sir." 🤣
    Wallace Shawn (Vizzini) is an accomplished Voice Actor and is just amazing all around. Before filming, he had come to understand that he was second choice for the part after Danny DeVito (although there is some confusion about whether DeVito was ever seriously pursued). He became convinced that he was wrong for the role and in danger of being fired at any moment. He was extremely nervous throughout filming and co-star Cary Elwes (Westley) noted that he was visibly sweating during the 'battle of wits' scene. He said to Rob Reiner that he didn't feel he'd get the part because he isn't Sicilian; Rob assured him that his voice was exactly the same as Vizzini's in the book.

    Fun facts: Chris Sarandon (Humperdink) was the first husband of Susan Sarandon. Chris Guest (six-fingered man) is still the husband of Jamie Lee Curtis. You commented on the poor horse. They actually had Andre hooked up to the ceiling with rigging that lowered him so he was almost, but not quite sitting on the horse. Andre found the rigging to actually be comfortable so he would stay up there in between filming takes. On the 3rd Thursday of November the Nouveau Beaujolais are released which is a national holiday in France. Andre had several cases sent to the set. He already drank several bottles when Rob Reiner walked on the set and was greeted by a very large, drunk giant hanging from the ceiling calling out "Hello, Boss!"

    Andre the Giant was a really nice guy. He was in a bar one night and 4 husky guys kept taunting him. He remained calm. When the four walked outside and got into their van, Andre walked out and tipped the whole van on its side and walked off. This is the testimony of guests at the bar.
    The man who wrote the story asked his 2 young daughters what kind of story they wanted him to tell. One said a story about a Princess. The other said a story about a new bride. And so he wrote The Princess Bride. tadah

    This movie is a 95% adaptation of the book that it is based on. That is rare for a movie.

    As perfect a movie as you get. I would not associate with anyone that did not like this film. I have watched more tomes than I can recall. Cary Ewes (Wesley) wrote a great book on the making of this movie called "As You Wish". It is a fun read, and the audiobook is even better.

    The “Chatty duelists” scene is so amazing. The incredible hard work by both of them treated us to something phenomenal!
    The more you watch this the better it gets. You learn all the famous lines and the absolute best part of the movie is, you will NEVER get bored of it!!
    I hope you start using “As you wish” as a way of saying I love you

    Andre the Giant (Fezzik) enjoyed making this film so much that he carried a VHS tape of it around with him for the rest of his life. He was a wonderful and sweet guy, and considering he was 7'4", and 520 lbs. he charmed everybody who met him. Vizzini (Wallace Shawn) appears in Young Sheldon regularly, but has been in a wonderful variety of films. I know ... inconceivable! Robin Wright (Buttercup) was Jenny in Forest Gump, and the aunt/teacher in Wonder Woman. The cast is all-star, and the director, Rob Reiner is not only the son of TV legend Carl Reiner, but played Meathead on All In The Family. He was married to another incredible director and star, Penny Marshall (sister to Gary Marshall director) and mother to Tracy Reiner (actress in League of Their Own & Apollo 13). Rob was her adopted father. The list goes on and on ... Christopher Guest (Six-Fingered Man) is a big-time director and husband to Jamie Lee Curtis. He wrote and starred in This Is Spinal Tap as well as many other hysterical comedies. There was no possible way this would be anything but a classically great film. It's amazing to me how many people have not seen this film, it's great!

    As a manly guy, I refused to watch something with this name...ugh! But I accidentally caught it on one weekend and loved it. Such a good story, with humor, action.... just wonderful. And that last line "As you wish" gets me every time.

    I absolutely knew Cristy would love this movie. Her facial expressions are the best. I especially love when she gets that shocked/surprised/realization look where he jaw drops and her eyes get wide and seem to bulge out. There were A LOT of those in this reaction. ... PRICELESS. "As you wish", Cristy! Keep up the great work!

    I've been watching your older reactions but saw this pop up and couldn't get but watch. What a perfect and fun reaction! : )
    It's such a unique and perfect little movie. It's old fashioned and also 80s modern, funny but some solid heart, and unapologetically romantic. A real treat to watch you discover it! You're going to have quotes from this movie start with you your whole life.
    The grandfather has crafted one of the best TV detectives as Columbo where he gets constantly underestimated and where the mystery is how he catches the bad guy as he cracks perfect well-planned crimes.

      "Unapologetically romantic" is a great observation, and about a movie that is in many ways a satire of adventure movies, no less.

    I have two little brother kittens. One of them has a wonky eye, so we named him Uno, but he is also the Dread Pirate Roberts. He only has one good eye, so he makes a perfect pirate. And his beautiful white and orange brother is named Wesley, like the beautiful farm boy.
